Dear Marc,

 

Freedom of Information (FOI) Act request

 

We are writing in response to your request for information, under the FOI
Act, dated 27 August 2020.  Thank you for your enquiry. You requested the
following information:

 

o  A full, accurate and complete list of records held within the HRA, or
under our authority identifying the number of COVID-19 deaths and
their flu vaccination status.

 

Our response is as follows:

 

o The HRA is not involved in collecting the information that you have
requested and we therefore do not hold this information. The remit of
the HRA is to protect and promote the interests of patients and the
public in health and social care research. Please find attached a link

We hope that this information is helpful to you, but should you require

If you are unhappy about the way in which your request has been handled,
the HRA has an internal complaints procedure through which you can raise
any concerns.  Further details of this procedure may be obtained by
contacting the Complaints Manager via [2][email address].  If you are
dissatisfied with the outcome of the complaints procedure, you can apply
to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), who will consider whether
we, as a public authority, have complied with its obligations under the
Act, and can require the HRA to remedy any problems.  You can find out
more about how to do this, and about the Act in general, on their website
[3]www.ico.org.uk.  Complaints should be sent to:

FOI Complaints Resolution – Information Commissioner’s Office
